Therefore, in the UMTS transmission / reception circuit 56, the 90-degree phase rotation circuit 40 has an attenuation characteristic in which the passage loss in the duplexer 56 1 is reduced. Assuming that it is the same as when there is no duplexer, the configuration of the duplexer can be simplified by the amount that can attenuate the harmonic components of the UMTS frequency, and conversely, the configuration of the duplexer 561 is rotated by 90 degrees. Assuming that the circuit 40 does not have attenuation characteristics, it is possible to reduce the UMTS frequency pass loss by the amount that can attenuate the harmonic components.
  • the isolation between the transmission path and the reception path is ensured by using the 90-degree phase rotation means, and not only the switch element but also the bandwidth Since the path was switched using a wave filter, a multipath switching circuit for switching the multiband was realized with low loss, low consumption, and a small circuit configuration.
  • the wireless communication device can be configured with low power consumption, small size and light weight.
  • the harmonic components of the UMTS frequency can be attenuated by imparting attenuation characteristics to the harmonic components of the UMTS frequency by the 90-degree phase rotation means. Therefore, the passage loss with respect to the frequency of the UMTS can be reduced.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un circuit de commutation de signal radioélectrique pour la commutation de plusieurs signaux émis/reçus, avec une faible perte, dans un dispositif mobile de radiocommunications du type téléphone mobile à double mode. Le circuit comporte lui-même un circuit de commutation de trajet de signal (20) de système de transmission/réception F2/F3, un circuit de commutation de trajet de signal (30) de système de transmission/réception F1/UMTS comprenant un diviseur de bande, et un circuit de rotation de phase de 90 degrés (40), sachant que F1 ≤ F2 ≤ F3. Le circuit de rotation (40) a une caractéristique de rotation de phase de signal F2/F3 sur 90 degrés tandis qu'un élément de commutation (44) est en position fermée, et pour l'atténuation des harmoniques d'UMTS tandis que l'élément de commutation (44) est en position ouverte. Le circuit (40) sépare les circuits de commutation de trajet (20) et (30) lorsque le système de transmission/réception F2/F3 est utilisé. Le circuit de rotation (40) a une caractéristique passante lorsque le système de transmission/réception F1/UMTS est utilisé.
